Plateau Problems for Maximal Surfaces in Pseudo-Hyperbolic Spaces

Differential Geometry 2022-10-13 v3

Abstract

We define and prove the existence of unique solutions of an asymptotic Plateau problem for spacelike maximal surfaces in the pseudo-hyperbolic space of signature (2, n): the boundary data is given by loops on the boundary at infinity of the pseudo-hyperbolic space which are limits of positive curves. We also discuss a compact Plateau problem. The required compactness arguments rely on an analysis of the pseudo-holomorphic curves defined by the Gauss lifts of the maximal surfaces.

last version before publishing. Statement of Theorem 7.1 for finite Plateau problem is now only true for deformable curves. The other main theorems are unchanged
